As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) falls and breaks below $20.7K, it has been trading in a narrow range. Above the $21,000 support, the price movement has remained unchanged. Doji candles, which have a small body and are indecisive, and spinning tops currently dominate the price movement.

As price breaks below the moving average lines, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is in a downward trend. The 50-day line SMA has impeded the rising movement. The cryptocurrency has been holding above the recent support for the past week, but it hasn't managed to surpass the 50-day SMA. The current slide has been stopped by buyers, but they are unable to reestablish bullish momentum because higher price levels see less demand. On the negative, the price of BTC would further drop to the $18,965 price level if the bears breach the $20.790 support. The moving average lines will be broken if the $20,790 support holds and Bitcoin recovers. The $24,000 overhead resistance will be the target of the bullish momentum. In the interim, BTC/USD is back on track.
